Almost forgot to say Happy New Year! I should probably write a longer reflection, but…. I did some pretty bad things this year. But like that line from the song, maybe this year will be better than the last. Maaf zahir dan batin. I haven’t deserved your kindness, but I thank you for it anyway. Still sorta in a [...] Merry Christmas all! Here’s something I got from a good friend I made through blogging. One way you could perhaps help spread the season’s cheer: Just this morning someone sent me a text message about an orphanage in Kajang. They have no aid or support from the government, church or organisations. They get random donations every now [...] Ah, this comes late, but I hope better than never. Am trying to catch it tonight, last show!
It’s directed by Hisham Rais, a former ISA detainee himself. Haris: Teater Bilik Sulit is a play that features the untold true accounts of the nature of Police interrogation of the ISA detainees which are based on [...] prescript 1: Thanks again to all who came for last Sunday’s vigil in memory of Syukree. I was compelled to speak there for the first time in tribute to the young man gone too soon. Thanks as well to all bloggers who wrote about the vigil. prescript 2: Might write more on this later, but don’t [...] The Star: ABOUT 1,300 illegal foreigners have died during detention in the past six years, Malaysia Nanban quoted Malaysian Human Rights (Suhakam) commissioner Datuk N. Siva Subramaniam as saying. He said many of them died in immigration detention centres, prisons and police lockups because they were denied medical treatment at the right time. He proposed that a doctor [...] Yeargh! I just realised that I never actually posted this – it was written a few days ago, then accidentally only saved as a draft, so it comes a few days late now, sorry! Firstly, here’s some pictures from the Rawang Jerit cyclist vigil, and a video from Mediarakyat: I’ve also been meaning to write about [...] Update 6pm: From Suaram – Tamilchelvan A/L Masilamani who was arrested this morning at the House of Parliament has been released on police bail around 4.10pm. He was charged under section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing public servant in discharge of his public function. He is now getting medical treatment at a general hospital [...]
I only learnt this morning, what someone paying better attention would have read a long time ago. Syukree was a good guy who was always nice to me. I related most to Black’s reflection, and probably was not all I could be to him. Reading of Syukree’s passing, I couldn’t help but think of Salman. It’s [...] Oops. He did it again. Selangor Chief Police Officer, (newly minted Datuk) Khalid Abu Bakar: The police had stopped a team of more than 50 cyclists of Jerit’s ‘Ride for Change’ campaign in Rawang yesterday with the intention to save the under-aged cyclists from being exploited. “As for the children, we have actually saved them from being misused [...] According to Jerit, sounds like 30 cyclists were released last night, and another 28 (presumably the underaged ones) were still held at the police station. Ridiculous. There is also a first hand account from one of the coordinators below. It speaks of systematic harassment, utter confusion on the part of the police leadership, and inhumane treatment [...] Much to write about on the weekend, but first, more appalling news on the JERIT cyclists. Info is from the JERIT website as well as e-mails pasted out below. The degree of police intimidation against these activists is as horrible as it is stupefying. I can only imagine that the cops must be wetting their [...] Been feeling under the weather these last few days, so kindly pardon the slow pace and disjointed writings. Just some little points for today. Firstly on the two bills being tabled at Parliament – Pak Lah’s kononnya swansong reform bills for the judiciary and anti-corruption efforts. Unsurprisingly, there seems to be no major improvement. Even the front [...] |
